At first I was inclined to go with Team one. Thor being the Odinson and All. But then I had to remember that Orion and WW both have Super Speed while Thor does not. While I do not see Wonder Woman being able to do more than Stalemate CM unless she gets the lasso around him, Orion can effectively one shot CM with the Astro Force. Thor Could one Shot WW if he could land a hit with his hammer or blast. But she's faster and can block out any and every attack under Thor's belt. So I'm going with Team 2 for the slimmest of wins

You should probably clarify for people that Diana has been able to manifest the full power of the Aegis by assuming her "crossed bracers" pose, particularly against the manifest power of other gods, and repel the power they use against her (such as when she deflected the united power of all the Olympian gods when it came time to destroy/rebuild Olympus back in WW #22 (or it might have 23, I forget which) 2nd Series. Her being able to do that is one of the lesser known "tricks" she has up her sleaves (so to speak), and few people who aren't real WW fans know that if they don't follow the series faithfully.
EDIT: Dammit, forgot to weigh in...
That's a tough one. Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel are equally matched, physically (the balance of him being marginally stronger, and her having superior combat skill); Thor and Orion... that's a bit tougher, still, as each has his advantages (Thor is stronger, IMO, while Orion is faster, and each has a whoop-ass power attack).
I will go with team 2, but very marginal victory, as Diana directs Orion strategically, the two of them indirectly taking down Billy, and eventually overwhelming Thor (but it will be a VERY drawn out battle, and even though I am saying Team 2, I ain't puttin' any money on 'em... )

When did this happen?
The first time Diana displayed this trick was (as I mentioned above) around WW#22, or 23 or so, 2nd Series, about 20 years ago. She has accomplished this feat on several occasions since then (repelling/resisting the likes of sustained attacks by Darkseid's Omega Effect -- much to his annoyance -- and the overt power of other gods and similar beings). It is not something she does all the time (in writing terms, it's one of her more marginal abilites), but it has saved a number of people on several occasions, including Superman, when she protected him against (the aforementioned) Omega Effect, and more recently saving him from the heatvision/green latern energy attacks from Amazo in the JLA story-arc from issues #24-28 (might be off an issue or two there, as I am not near the books, but that's about right)...
There are many, MANY people who underestimate Diana because they don't understand how she has changed and evolved over the past 3 decades, and even before Crisis on Infinite Earths... it's why discussions like this often fall flat to some people, because they don't understand that she is on par with Superman, Captain Marvel, Thor, and similar heroes, not simply in regards to strength (as she is nearly as strong as any of them) but other abilities that she possesses...
